Adapt Quotes
Just watching him be able to adapt to the different stuff he's had over the years and still go out one of the top guys out there ... it's not easy to do. Guys who throw 95, 96 have an ego about being able to do that. He just went right into, 'Hey, you know, I throw 87 now. This is what I've got.' And he goes out there and gets it done just as well as he ever did.

Balls Quotes
With scar tissue, you don't know how it's going to heal or what's going to happen with it. Dr. Yocum told me, 'Once December comes, you might throw two balls and know you've got no chance. Or you might go out and throw for three weeks and it won't bother you.' But it's not something where it's 100 percent yes, you're going to be there, or 100 percent no.

Asked Quotes
It's not doing bad. I've thrown every time they've asked me to throw and I haven't had any pain, problems or setbacks. I didn't start throwing until early January, and it's OK. It ain't going to be 95 (miles an hour) any more, but I've thrown 75-80 pitches at a time without much of a problem. It just takes me a couple of days to recover. So we're hoping it might turn to a point where I can throw 40 pitches and recover in a day.

Ball Quotes
It's doing a lot better than it was. I'm back to normal everyday stuff. I haven't gotten to where I think I'm comfortable enough to start picking up a ball and start chucking it yet, but I still have the whole offseason to get that ready and come firing in the spring. I'll know a lot more on Friday when Dr. Yocum looks at it.
